If there are Brutes on Reach, it could be canon as about 10 days after Reach was defeated, John rescued Kelly, Fred, Dr. Halsey, and a few other Spartans. They then fought some Brutes somewhere (I don't remember from my first read-through of First Strike and I'm not there yet on this one). Though it was the first time seeing Brutes ever so if the game does that battle then they will be in there though Spartan-259 and Spartan-230 are not from John's wave of SPARTAN-IIs and could very well be part of the other wave of SPARTAN-IIs that we know nothing about. They would be the main focus of the game.
Ok, then do you belive that Bungie would put Brute's in the game to satisfy those who grown fond of the elite allies and rule out everything of the story?
